Florida sludge metal band Ether
returns with their sophomore album, “There is Nothing Left For Me Here”.
The album hones in on their NOLA sludge influences and reverb soaked sombre
melodies. The record was written amidst the separation and divorce process of a
member, which steadies the mood of the record toward complete and utter
abandonment. Lyrically, the album touches on the personal but focuses on
current socio-political affairs, the whitewashing of historically tragic
events, western programming, capitalism, and other tenets of denigration of the
human condition. The record is as emotive as it is crushing, combining haunting
melodies with Sabbath-esque riffs, to present something
truly cathartic. Ether maintains a DIY punk ethic,
releasing their own records and booking their own tours, from which members
learned in their time in the hardcore scene.
“There is Nothing Left For Me
Here” will be released on July 7th 2017 on CD, cassette, vinyl
and digital formats and you can stream a brand new track “No Gods, All Masters” below
